Another Christmas Tag

our cute humble little Christmas Trees :)

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Gift wrap for sure! With lots of pretties :)

2. Real tree or Artificial? We prefer real, we've done artificial, and this year we've gone totally "green" and bought 2 planted trees!

3. When do you put up the tree? As soon as I can convince T to get the stuff down!

4. When do you take the tree down? If I had my choice NEVER! I love Christmas!

5. Do you like eggnog? The thought of drinking something that actually has eggs in it makes me feel sick- yuck! T loves it and is drinking some right now :)

6. Favorite Christmas gift as a child? I really remember being totally baffled by my mom, we got a TV, but she insisted they didn't by it for us (my sisses and I) and I knew Santa wasn't around :) I was totally puzzled. As a teenager, my Letterman's jacket was pretty exciting! T says a stereo that played records, cassettes, AND had a radio!

7. Do you have a nativity scene? At home in a box :( So sad about this one, but I just can't break down and buy another.

8. Hardest person to buy for? Usually T's mom or T himself

9. Easiest person to buy for? Depends, I usually like to give thoughtful gifts so no one is really easy.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail unless I'm a slacker- ps T actually helped this year- make them and everything! But shhh don't tell him I told or it might ruin his man ego :)

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I usually like everything I get so nothing! T says "dollar store junk- probably"

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? DUH!! I love them all! A Christmas Story, the Claymation classics, Elf, Mr. Kruegers Christmas are tops :)

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? If I'm good I shop all year for those bargains, the mad dash to finish homemade gift usually begins in October and ends Christmas eve usually REALLY REALLY late! (can't help it I get too many good ideas!) T usually Christmas eve! :)

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? yes

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Big Christmas Eve dinner at T's parents and a snack all day Christmas day at my parents! I love rolls, ham, and SWEETS!!!! (and may I add it really sucks to have to make everything ourselves this year!

16. Clear lights or colored on the tree ? Clear

17. Favorite Christmas song? Silent Night

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? I wish I was traveling, but will embrace our Christmas at home. ;)

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitsen and Rudolph. (honestly not really, I just copied!)

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Both usually PJ's on Christmas eve and the rest Christmas morning, but last year was different with kiddos- we did T's family Christmas eve and my family Christmas morning.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Usually T being a bah humbug, but he's way more into Christmas this year, reading Christmas stories together... you'd better sit down for this part- shopping together and decorating together!! WOW!!!!

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I love all the glass one's at my mom's and T's mom's Snowman tree, but at home we really like using a wide variety of ornaments. This year T found these sparkly chipboard embellishments at Michael's and we used those- score for me I get to use them for scrapbooking when Christmas is over! (I'm really putting a dent in his man ego!)

24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? I totally answered this already!

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? There's a bunch of things I would be happy with, but really being home would be on the top of the list, but realistically on the pocketbook, I'll be happy with a week full of adventures! (and maybe a trip into the country- I'm SO not made for living in a big city!)
